T hey bonded over a mutual love of Texas and tequila, says Perennials founder Ann Sutherland, who has teamed with hotelier Liz Lambert on a collection of striped fabrics and rugs. Lambert — known for Hotel San José and Saint Cecilia in Austin and Marfa's El Cosmico — took inspiration from the vintage hand-woven striped textiles she's collected throughout her life. Perennials by Far West is a collaboration with Lambert's Marfa design studio and marketplace, Far West, which she launched as a way to produce unique textiles for her hotels and homes in Marfa and Baja. The collection of five fabrics includes Campo Stripe, a dimensional horizontal stripe; Serape Stripe, inspired by vivid vintage serape blankets; Tejas Stripe; Baja Stripe with ombré color blending; and Roadrunner Stripe with a wide-blanket design ideal for sofas and benches.

Rebecca Sherman Y ates Desygn's new wallpaper collection with Ever Atelier is a contemporary take on Southern aesthetics, says principal designer Bryan Yates. While the inspirations might be traditional, look again: Things are not what they first seem. In-Site, a tailored windowpane plaid, is created with photoreal depictions of actual windows from a building in downtown Dallas. Hudson Lattice, a garden-room classic, is interpreted through a 21st- century lens with metallic and other reflective elements. Leo's Maine is described as "Part Lewis Carroll, part NYC, part park, part pure organic beauty"; the result is a traditional pattern that looks both abstract and organic. Those are just three of the collection's 14 papers that include hand- painted, printed, and photoreal elements. And, the papers are printed in Dallas, allowing for a three-week turnaround. This is not their first collaboration — Yates Desygn and Ever Atelier are both Dallas-based and teamed previously on hand-painted suede wallpaper for Yates Desygn's knock-out basement space in the 2021 Kips Bay Decorator Show House Dallas. Ever Atelier's Ashley Leftwich, a designer, and Sarah English, a fine artist, launched their wallpaper company in 2019, becoming known for colorful out-of-the- box designs based on classic design motifs. They're a good fit for Yates Desygn which brought a range of unusual inspirations to the table. Yates Desygn X Ever Atelier's Montmartre Series, $92 – $236 per roll, at everatelier.com.
